Why Holistic Healthcare Is the Future of Women’s Health
A Conversation with VIA Women’s Health Collective
As I get older and experience new shifts in my health - perimenopause, hormonal weight gain, adult acne (like what?!) - I’ve noticed something: the places I used to go for medical advice are changing. Out are the clinics I once thought were the best fit, and in are practices that actually specialize in women’s health.
More women are turning to holistic healthcare across the country, and when it comes to holistic healthcare in Indianapolis, one name consistently rises to the top: VIA Women’s Health Collective in Westfield.
At VIA, holistic care means looking beyond a single diagnosis to consider the whole person: body, mind, and lifestyle. It’s more than a philosophy - it’s the foundation of every patient relationship. We sat down with founder Dr. Taylor Hahn and her team to explore how holistic, integrative medicine is redefining women’s wellness.
What exactly is holistic healthcare?
Think of holistic medicine as the opposite of a quick fix. Instead of treating one symptom, holistic healthcare providers look at the root causes - from stress and sleep to hormones, gut health, and nutrition.
At VIA, this means combining advanced diagnostics with an integrative medicine model that blends traditional medicine with more proactive, preventative medicine practices. The result is an approach that helps women understand how every part of their body works together.
“Women’s health is complex - it’s not one-size-fits-all,” says Dr. Hahn. “Our goal is to identify what’s really driving the issue, not just to mask it.”
What can you expect at your first appointment?
A first visit with a holistic healthcare provider looks different from a traditional doctor’s appointment. Expect more conversation than prescription. You’ll discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and goals so your care team can see the full picture before recommending next steps.
At VIA Women’s Health Collective, that same thoughtful process guides every new patient experience. The team develops a personalized treatment plan that may include hormone balancing, stress management, gut health support, or nutrient testing - all designed to help the body heal and function at its best.
“Most patients leave with both clarity and an actionable path forward - whether that includes nutrition guidance, lab testing, or lifestyle adjustments,” says Dr. Hahn.
What makes VIA’s approach different?
Every visit starts with a comprehensive approach and a dedicated team focused on patient-centered care. Because every woman’s biochemical individuality is unique, treatment plans are, too.
VIA combines holistic therapies, preventative medicine, and nutrition counseling to promote better health, not just short-term relief.
“Our mission is to help women become fully functional in their health again,” Dr. Hahn explains. “That might mean supporting a chronic illness management plan, balancing hormones, or supporting the immune system - all while helping women feel heard and supported.”
What conditions can holistic healthcare help with?
Holistic care can support a wide range of chronic conditions and gynecological conditions, including:
Hormonal imbalance and fatigue
Autoimmune disease and inflammation
Joint pain and mobility issues
Digestive and gut health challenges
Instead of relying solely on medication, VIA’s team uses lifestyle changes, nutrition support, and holistic therapies to improve overall quality of life.
TIME FOR SOME REAL TALK:
Is holistic healthcare covered by insurance?
Some practices may accept insurance, but VIA Women’s Health Collective operates outside the traditional system by offering flexible payment options - meaning no insurance, copays, or deductibles to limit access to care.
Patients can choose between fee-for-service visits or a membership model that provides direct, ongoing access to healthcare providers for a predictable monthly rate. Both options allow for transparent, comprehensive care without the time limits or restrictions common in insurance-based medical practices.
What’s the biggest misconception about holistic healthcare?
That it’s only for people who’ve “tried everything else.”
Dr. Hahn wants women to know that holistic healthcare isn’t an alternative - it’s an upgrade.
“It’s not about rejecting medicine,” she says. “It’s about expanding it. We blend traditional medicine with a holistic approach so women can achieve optimum health, not just temporary relief.”
If your wellness journey feels stuck, holistic care might be the reset you need. For many women balancing families, careers, and everything in between, holistic healthcare offers something rare - time, attention, and care that sees the full picture.
